As you can imagine this generated lots of support requests to us from many confused customers. We changed this because a really common confusion point in version 6 was “Why do you mark a whole podcast as played when you subscribe? I never played these episodes and now it’s hard to figure out what I have played and what I haven’t!”. The app used to mark all but the latest episode as played when you first subscribed. In version 6 downloads weren’t at the top of a podcast, unplayed episodes were. I would like to give you some context behind this change.

You can additionally long press again to bring up options to select all above or below.Īnother change we’ve heard you loud and clear on is downloads not being at the top of a podcast anymore. From here you can select exactly which episodes you want, before performing the 4 available actions on them. To activate it, simply long press on an episode in your podcast or filter list. When you use it for adding episodes to up next, it will even queue them in the order you selected. To start, 7.0.2 brings back multi select which you can use to download, add to up next, mark as played or archive episodes. We’ve listened to what you’ve said about this and today we released 7.0.2 to address many of these concerns. We understand it takes time to adjust to change but also recognise that we each interact with tools in different ways.

On the other hand, some of you have indicated that the change was unexpected, version 6 was working fine for you and version 7 came along and changed the way things worked. Many of you like the changes and appreciate the new features like Up Next syncing between devices, archiving episodes instead of having to mark as played and playing podcasts without subscribing first. Version 7 for Android has been out for 2 weeks now and we have had a lot of feedback.
